Today is #ShopIndependentDay organised by the amazing @hollytucker π Shopping independent shouldn't be just one day... If every adult spent just Β£1 at independent shops, local economies could increase by up to Β£12 Billion, as well as creating hundreds more jobs! Now is the time to continue supporting all of the small businesses who kept YOU going through lockdown. Start your Halloween and Christmas shopping early, treat a friend, treat yourself..! Whatever you choose to do, choose to shop small. There is a myth that small sellers charge over-the-top prices - NOT TRUE! Small sellers charge what they and their products are worth. Where else will you find a spooky nun embroidery completed by hand? Amazon? NOPE. (At least, I hope not π³) By buying from a small independent seller you are DIRECTLY supporting a family, an individual, a dream....... You will get the best service and you will find products and services that indie sellers work SUPER hard to create so you have something totally unique that you won't find in the middle of Lidl! And you don't have to buy - every share, like, comment and save helps these amazing businesses to BE SEEN, so when you're scrolling through social media at 3pm waiting for the weekend, remember to spread a little bit of love! πππ You can visit my store by clicking the link in my bio or popping over to embruderystore.etsy.com π€ #embRUDEry #shopsmallmovement #independentpound #etsyuk #MHHSBD #QueenOf #supportsmallsellers #shopindependentday #VisibilityFest #justacard #handmade_hour #shopetsyhandmade #indiebusiness #indiemakers #craftersgonnacraft #craftcrew #craftsposure #shopsmallloveindie #indiesmallbiz #indiesmallbusiness #etsykentuk #etsykent #embroiderersofinstagram #crossstitchersofinstagram #fabricartists #artistsupportingartists #artshare #creativecommunity #creativecommunity_ https://www.instagram.com/p/CQiXLsAs6UC/?utm_medium=tumblr
